Hedgehog Rescue

Hedgehog Bottom Rescue is based in Thatcham and is a small charity which cares for sick and orphaned hedgehogs in West Berkshire.

Their mission is to care for sick, injured or orphaned hedgehogs using veterinary guidance, to release all animals that are deemed capable of surviving in the wild, to find release sites for animals that are compromised but capable of living a near normal existence in a protected area and to increase public awareness about the decline in hedgehogs, the hazards they face, and to encourage children to respect hedgehogs and take an interest in them.

100% of all income is spent on the animals. There are no staff salaries, vehicles or other non-essential expenses taken out of the pot.
